yes, i think a dsl file is just a tar.gz
i've converted a few dsl's to dotpups

an mplayer packager is larger than 1 meg, so i looked for a binary package that would work in Puppy ... i found a couple that would work ... i picked the dsl package because it seemed to be the best one to use

any binary package is similar in principle to other binary packages ... rpm, deb, dsl, pup

what i wanted for dotpups was a very simple structure ... built-in md5sum error checking ... and a script that runs automatically, for maximum flexibility

and i chose zip format because server mime settings for gz files are often wrong, and can cause problems downloading

anyway, many dsl's (and rpm's and deb's ... and tgz's) can be useable ... sometimes there are library and dependency problems
